Chapter 131 The Emperor has issued an order to reward Concubine Lin with 3 feet of white silk
Xiao Linfeng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the Holy Face.
"The two guards were arranged by the Second Princess, and the location was also chosen by the Second Princess. The entire plan was decided by Concubine Lin."
He paused, "It's aimed at the Princess of Jingning County."
The emperor had guessed all of this. In fact, what the second princess did was quite obvious. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. "Then how did it become Concubine Lin?"
Xiao Linfeng was also puzzled. "Jingning County Princess ran away as soon as she left the hall. She is a very willful person. She didn't contact anyone on the way back. In terms of time, she didn't have time to cause trouble."
The emperor doesn't mind his children causing trouble. As descendants of the royal family, they are born superior to others, and the whole world prostrates itself at their feet.
But, you can't be too stupid, so as not to make the whole world laugh at the royal family.
"Will it be leaked in advance?"
Xiao Linfeng was silent for a moment. "This is the first time that Princess Jingning has come to the palace. The Ning family has been operating in the northwest for generations, and their only influence in Beijing is in Qingluo Villa."
In other words, she doesn't have that kind of omnipotent ability, and the Ning family's sphere of influence is in the northwest.
The emperor had no idea. Ning Zhiwei should not have known about it in advance, otherwise, it would not have been so natural.
This made him even more anxious, "Who could that be?"
Xiao Linfeng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to interrogate the people around the Second Princess."
Before, the second princess cried and made a fuss, refusing to let him take all the servants around her away no matter what, and the emperor also said to wait a little longer.
Since Ning Zhiwei is fine, the next step is to focus on examining that group of people.
"allow."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Nanny Li, who was by the Second Princess' side, hanged herself."
The emperor's face turned pale, he picked up the teacup and smashed it hard on the ground, "Good, good, it's the remnant of the previous dynasty again."
It seems that the royal family has been infiltrated by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and their people can be found everywhere.
"Pass on my decree. All the servants around the Second Princess shall be executed. No one shall be spared."
"Yes."
The emperor was furious. "Banban, reward Concubine Lin with three feet of white silk, and you go and see her off in person."
"Yes." The chief eunuch was secretly shocked. The emperor became more and more moody.
On the other side, the second princess's residence
Concubine Lin was lying on the bed, dying, with white gauze wrapped around her head and blood oozing out.
She looked pale and stared blankly at the top of the gauze tent. She was completely broken.
"What did you do? Huh? How did it turn out like this?"
The idea was hers, and the manpower was arranged by the second princess, but in the end, she became the heroine of the licentious palace.
The moment she was awakened by the cold water and saw the emperor's furious face, her first reaction was that it was all over.
The second princess sat on the ground stupidly, feeling powerless. How could her carefully planned plan go wrong? She failed to harm others and ended up getting herself into trouble.
"I don't understand why you are there."
Linpin's status was too low to be qualified to attend the banquet, so she had been waiting not far from the scene of the incident.
She wanted to see Ning Zhiwei walk down the road of destruction, fall into the mud, and be spurned by everyone.
Thanks to Ning Zhiwei, she went from being a noble concubine second only to the emperor to the lowest-ranking beauty in the palace, whom anyone could step on.
She held her breath, wanting revenge.
"I was knocked unconscious and woke up like that. I didn't even see the other person's face clearly."
There was aphrodisiac incense burning at the place where the accident happened. Once you inhaled it, you would become confused and infatuated, and you couldn't control yourself.
The second princess felt cold in her heart, "It's all Ning Zhiwei's fault. Why didn't she go in obediently? Why did she run?"
A trace of deep hatred flashed in Linpin's eyes, and she sat up, "Yes, it must be Ning Zhiwei's doing. She is the one who harmed me. She wanted to avenge her biological mother. I will not let her go. I will ask to see the emperor right now."
The second princess grabbed her and said, "Don't go. Father doesn't want to see you."
Linpin was filled with fear. "I have worked hard for many years, and I have stepped on the corpses of many people to get to this point. I can't die! The emperor and I have known each other since childhood. We grew up together and have feelings for each other. He will definitely not want me to die."
She kept convincing herself and comforting herself.
The second princess closed her eyes. How could her father allow such a stain to remain? The rest of the royal family would not allow it either.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, "Let me go, let me go, I am the second princess's personal maid, who dares to touch me?"
"Princess, save me."
The second princess heard something wrong and rushed over, only to see Xiao Linfeng and a group of Jinyiwei feeding poison to the palace maids.
Her face turned completely pale, "Master Xiao, what are you doing?"
"By the Emperor's order, all of them shall be put to death."
The second princess was shocked and angry. "No, no, these maids are my personal servants. I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with them."
These are her right-hand men. Without them, it would be like cutting off both arms.
Xiao Linfeng looked indifferent, "This is the emperor's order."
"I will go and plead with my father..." The second princess rushed out of the door like crazy, and saw the chief eunuch coming towards her holding a three-foot white silk.
She trembled all over, and her lips trembled, "Banban, why... are you here?"
The chief eunuch stood at the door and shouted, "The emperor has ordered that Concubine Lin be awarded three feet of white silk."
Linpin rolled over and crawled over to hug the eunuch's legs, "Please ask the emperor for mercy. Considering our relationship over the past twenty years, please spare my life."
The chief eunuch sighed softly, "Your Majesty, please be more respectful and think of it as doing this for the Second Princess."
If she hadn't died, the Second Princess would have been even more disgraced.
When Concubine Lin heard this, she knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and she couldn't help but laugh crazily, "Hahaha, this is retribution, karma. I ruined Ning Zhiwei's mother back then, and sixteen years later, Ning Zhiwei returned everything to me."
The second princess was heartbroken, "Mother, I will avenge you. I will definitely send her down to accompany you."
In another magnificent palace, Rong Jing was sitting in his study, flipping through a book carelessly. A dark shadow flashed in and knelt at his feet.
"Master, Nanny Li hanged herself, Concubine Lin was forced to commit suicide, and all the servants in the Second Princess' palace were sentenced to death."
Rong Jing nodded calmly, "Find an opportunity to bury Nanny Li with honor."
"Yes."
Rong Jing looked through the window in a certain direction, "Continue to protect Princess Jingning in secret, and report to me immediately if there is any disturbance."
"Yes."
The eldest princess has handed over all her connections and resources to him, including this feared royal secret guard.
Who could have thought that the late emperor would divide the royal secret guards into two, one for the current emperor and the other for the eldest princess.
Even the current emperor doesn't know about this, and neither do Su Hao and his son.
The eldest princess had kept this secret strictly, and had intended to hand over this secret guard to the next generation of the royal family before her death, but after much deliberation, she decided to leave it to her only son who had suffered so much.
It seems that the emperor is no longer reliable.
"Master, there seems to be some movement in the Beast Garden. Something big may happen tomorrow. You should pretend to be sick and avoid it."
Rong Jing shook his head slightly. The royal family from top to bottom had figured out the emperor's intention and were determined to kill Ning Zhiwei. They had used all kinds of despicable tricks. He was worried that tomorrow's action would be specifically aimed at her.
She couldn't pretend to be sick, there was no way to avoid it, her situation was full of dangers.
He has to help her!
